Reasons for Getting Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation is technically known as augmentation mammoplasty. This surgical procedure is performed using breast implants to enhance the size and shape of your profile. Women choose Breast Augmentation for many varied and personal reasons. The most common reasons for Breast Augmentation include:

• Enhancing breast size when women feel that their breasts are too small or not in proportion with their overall body contour
• Achieving a more proportionate breast symmetry in size and contour
• Restoring breast volume and firmness for women after weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding
• Improving breast shapes for women that have sagging or have lost skin elasticity (a reason that frequently involves breast lift surgery, too)

Of course, every woman's reasons are entirely personal. And once you know that Breast Augmentation is right for you, a consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you choose the right breast implant to accomplish your goal of an ideal profile.

Questions to Ask Your Virginia Beach, Virginia Breast Implant Surgeon about Breast Augmentation

Before making your decision, it is important to understand the breast augmentation procedure and your surgical options. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the procedure in detail with you during your pre-operative consultation. This discussion should include an explanation of the surgical procedure, risk and possible complications associated with the surgery, and what to expect after surgery. Possible post-operative side effects, pain management, and pain medications should also be discussed as part of your preparation for surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure and confirm that you fully understand the procedure and any risks and potential complications associated with your surgery. Your surgeon may schedule surgery several days or weeks from the time of your consultation to assure you have had enough time to understand and accept all aspects of the consent form. If you require further explanation, it is important to share your questions and concerns with your surgeon, to ensure a truly "informed consent".

The breast aesthetic surgery consultation with your surgeon should also include an evaluation of what would be the right breast implant size, placement and incision site for you based on your personal goals for surgery, and a thorough and realistic review of your expectations. Guidelines for eating, drinking, smoking, medications, and exercise before and after surgery will also be reviewed. Before the day of your surgery, you should make arrangements for your aftercare and transportation post-surgery.

While selection of the appropriate size and type of breast implant from the Natrelle® Collection is important, your final results depend greatly on the skills and technique of the surgeon you choose. Here is a list of additional questions you may want to cover during your consultation:

• Are you board-certified and, if so, by which board?
• Do you limit your practice to plastic or aesthetic surgery?
• How long have you been in practice?
• Do you specialize in breast aesthetic surgery and/or breast reconstructive surgery?
• May I see your "before and after" photos?
• Can I talk to previous breast implant patients to learn about their experiences?
• How many breast implant surgeries do you perform a year?
• What is the overall cost of my Breast augmentation?
• Where will my surgery be performed, in a hospital, outpatient surgery center, or in the operating room in your practice?
• What type of anesthesia will be used?
• How long will my recovery take?
• What aftercare will be required?
